Videos from the #RiseUp October

The importance of artists speaking out, and people coming to their defense when they are attacked.

On Saturday, October 24, Director and Writer Quentin Tarantino stood before the Rise Up October protest and bravely and powerfully called out murdering police: "I am a human being with a conscience and when I see murder, I cannot stand by and I have to call the murdered, the murdered and the murderers, the murderers."

For this he has been attacked and threatened by police organizations in New York, LA, Philadelphia and elsewhere.

A number of artists, activists and family members whose loved ones were murdered by police – and who were inspired by the presence of Quentin Tarantino – have spoken out and defended him.

We hear from:

Martin Garbus, one of the top trial lawyers in the US, who participated in No More Stolen Lives - #SayTheirNames October 22, in Times Square. Martin Garbus is renowned all over the world for his commitment to the protection of free speech and action.
